It is very probable that Viscum moniliforme Blu.me V\. Jav. Lor. t. 25 is 

 referal)le to this Pseudixus or Bifaria, as is scen from the ciliate or pectinate 

 bracts and clustered female flowers. Hooker is not justified to treat both 

 Viscmn moniliforme Blume and Viscmn aphyllum Griff. (Ic. Pl. As. t. 630) 

 as i-eferable to V. articidcdum Burji. The formcr two are certainly totally 

 different each other V. aphyllum has no ciliate bracts, while V. monilifbrme 

 has ciliate bracts but no involucrc like that of the formcr. It should be granted 

 that V. aphyUum Griff. is referable to V. articulaium Burji. on account of 

 the invohicrum, while V. moniliforme should be a species closely allied to or 

 identical with V. japonicum Thunb. Viscum aHicidcdum Bextii. (F1. Hongk. p. 

 141) is quite different from Pseudixus japonicus. The former has the females 

 " scarcely J line long, nearly globular, and half-bm-ied in the cup-shaped entire 

 bract," while tlie latter has the flowers quite free from ciliiformed bracts.
